I Cannot Say Goodbye to You by Rithvik Singh PDF Download
Some people enter our lives in such a way that we are never able to say a complete goodbye to them. They leave, but their voice, their memories, and every moment lived with them stays within us. I Cannot Say Goodbye to You is not just a love story. It is the story of the pain that remains after love. If you have ever loved someone with complete honesty, this story will quietly break you.
Some people come into our lives as if to complete an unfinished sentence, and some leave as if they abandon an entire book halfway. This story is about that incompleteness.
It is the story of a girl who learned at a very young age that pain can be hidden behind every smile, and that behind every “I’m fine” there can be a broken heart. Her name was Aashna.
Aashna had been very sensitive since childhood, but no one ever truly understood her sensitivity. Her parents were there for her, but as she grew older, the distance between them also increased. Rules replaced love. Warmth slowly turned into formality, and one day she realized that she was alone in her own home.
When her parents decided to send her to a boarding school, they may have thought it was the right decision for her future. But for Aashna, that moment was nothing less than a punishment. She was not just leaving a school; she was saying goodbye to her entire childhood. For the first time, she understood that the people we love the most are often the ones who hurt us the deepest.
Behind the high walls of the boarding school, Aashna pulled herself inward. She spoke less to people, almost stopped hoping, and accepted that attachment meant heartbreak. Her life there followed a fixed routine—morning prayers, classes, hostel rooms, and at night, the same old silence became her companion.
She was never able to belong completely to anyone. She always maintained a distance, as if getting too close to someone might cause something to break again. She knew how to laugh, but not freely. She knew how to cry, but silently. She poured her emotions into her diary, because paper never leaves and goes away.
And then one day, he entered her life—a boy who seemed like a character from a film. Slightly carefree, intensely alive, and astonishingly honest. His eyes did not carry the fear that lived in Aashna’s eyes. His words lacked the hesitation that trembled in her voice.
He spoke to her as if she were not broken but whole, as if even her silence was a language he could understand. At first, Aashna treated him like everyone else—an temporary turn that would end after some time. But he was different.
He was not afraid of her silence. He searched for questions even within her quietness and tried to complete her unfinished sentences. Slowly, very slowly, Aashna realized that she was talking to him without thinking, without stopping herself. For the first time, she felt that someone was trying to understand her, not change her.
Their conversations were easy. Their laughter was light but deep. He looked at Aashna as if she were special, as if even her brokenness was beautiful. He made her believe that asking for love is not weakness and trusting someone is not foolishness.
Aashna also began to open herself little by little. She shared her fears, her memories, and for the first time told someone that the word she feared the most was “goodbye.”
But perhaps life did not like this peace. Just when Aashna felt that things could finally be okay, the story took a turn. That boy also carried incompleteness in his life—truths he had not revealed at the beginning. His past, his decisions, and his compulsions slowly surfaced, and Aashna was once again surrounded by the fear of losing everything.
When love grows deep, fear grows just as deep. Aashna felt divided into two parts—one that wanted to live every moment with him, and another that wanted to run away from every relationship to protect herself. She knew that if she became completely attached, it would be impossible to hold herself together if things broke. But she also knew that if she walked away, she would live her entire life with this sense of incompleteness.
There were moments in their relationship when everything felt perfect—small conversations, peaceful moments spent together, silently holding hands that hid a thousand promises. But there were also moments when truths began to hurt, when silence spoke louder than words.
Aashna realized that love is not just about staying together. Sometimes, making the right decision is also love.
And then came the day when saying goodbye became necessary. It was not a sudden decision, but a truth that had been forming for a long time. Both of them knew that if they stayed together, they would end up breaking each other. Yet, separating was not easy.
In that moment, Aashna felt as if all her old wounds had reopened. It felt like she had returned to the same place where she had begun—alone, frightened, and incomplete. But this time, something was different. This time, she was not broken; she was wiser.
She had learned that not every story has a happy ending, and not every love lasts forever. Some people come into our lives to change us forever, not to stay with us. That boy had perhaps come into her life to teach her that she was worthy of love, that her emotions were not a burden, and that sometimes saying goodbye requires the greatest courage.
Aashna bid farewell to the relationship, but not to the feeling. She preserved that love within herself—as a lesson, as a memory. She understood that she does not end with someone’s departure. She is whole within herself, even if a little broken.
And perhaps this is the greatest truth of this story—that we are all incomplete in our own ways, yet still worthy of living.
This story is not just about love. It is about the courage it takes to let someone go, the pain hidden behind a smile, and the truth that behind every “I cannot say goodbye,” there comes a day when we must say goodbye.
This book is for those who have loved someone deeply and still let them go. For those who know that some relationships are not meant to last forever, but their impact always does.
In the end, Aashna stood there—slightly stronger, slightly exhausted, but connected to herself. She said goodbye because she knew that sometimes love does not mean holding on, but letting go. And perhaps that is why she had finally learned how to say goodbye, even if her heart was not fully ready.
Not every story ends with reunion. Some stories come to teach us that love does not only mean staying together, but also knowing when to let go. This story is not about losing someone; it is about understanding oneself. And perhaps that is why some goodbyes are never complete, because they live forever in the heart.
